Viewing Licenses


There is a number of various licenses available for Spotfire, and each license contains a number of features. If a user has a certain license enabled, she will get access to all the features therein. However, the administrator can explicitly disable some of the included features of a license.

Licenses are only assigned to groups, never to individual users.

Licenses are inherited. A group that is a member of a parent group will automatically inherit all the enabled licenses from that parent group, and so on further up through the group hierarchy. For an individual user, the enabled licenses are the grand total of all the groups he is a member of, both explicitly and via inheritance.

For more information and examples explaining Spotfire licenses, please see How do Licenses work?

To view the enabled licenses for a group:

  1. Select a group from the Available groups list.

  2. In the right hand pane, click on the Licenses tab.

    Response: The "Licenses" interface is displayed.

  3. Click the + or - signs to expand/collapse the different licenses, and see the features underneath. The licenses and features marked with a green check mark are activated for the user, and the ones marked with a red cross are not. Licenses marked with a yellow checkmark indicates that some, but not all, features of the license are enabled.
    The "Set for group" column states for which group the license is explicitly set. The actual enabled features for a user comprises the grand total of all the enabled features in the groups that user is a member of, both explicitly and by inheritance. For more details, see How do Licenses work?
